A 25-year-old Surrey man is recovering this morning after being attacked by a group of people, with one of them wielding a machete.
At about 1:05 a.m., Surrey RCMP received several 911 calls from residents in the area of the 14100-block of 75 Avenue. Callers reported a group of people assaulting one man and there was a large amount of blood at the scene.
When officers arrived on scene they found the man who was suffering from a number of slashes on his body that were caused by being struck multiple times by the weapon. Police say the victim was bleeding quite extensively. He was transported to hospital by ambulance where he was treated for his non-life-threatening injuries. He is now listed in stable condition.
Police say the victim knew at least one of the assailants, and may have arranged a meeting with one of them.
Police are looking for a grey or silver van, which four or five people fled the scene in.
Surrey RCMP are asking anyone who may have witnessed this incident, or saw a vehicle driving away from the scene to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or call Crime Stoppers.
